Message: <blockquote data-quote="delericho" data-source="post: 5834019" data-attributes="member: 22424">I wanted to like 4e, I really did. But then, about halfway through the development cycle, WotC revealed a couple of things that I really didn't like. Still, I tried to give the game a fair shake.I've run exactly two sessions in 4e, and that was enough to convince me never to run it again. I'm happy to play it (and with the right DM it runs very well), but won't run it again.With Pathfinder, I bought the Core Rulebook and read it, and concluded that it is an incremental improvement on 3.5e. However, it's not "better enough" to compel me to switch, especially as my tastes have changed so that I now prefer much simpler games - it is only the 8 years of accumulated system mastery that makes 3.5e bearable for me. Pathfinder changes just enough to negate that, so I won't be switching.With 5e, I'll check it out, but won't buy sight-unseen (as I would have for 3e or 4e). But if, as I'm starting to suspect, it's just another 1,000 monster that will allow me to do basically the same thing as 3e but in a slightly different way, I'll pass. (Conversely, if it turns out to be "D&D Saga Edition", I'll be delighted.)</blockquote>
